Appendix E Hca 240

For this assignment, complete this chart to create an easy-to-read reference that will help you understand how the two forms of diabetes mellitus differ. Maintaining proper levels of insulin is critical for diabetes patients. The means by which insulin can be regulated depends upon which type of diabetes a patient has.

Complete the chart with a 25- to 50-word response for each box.

*Form of Diabetes
Type 1: Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
*Age of onset
Usually prior to age 30
*Defects in insulin and effects on glucose metabolism
In type 1 diabetes, there’s insufficient insulin to let glucose into the cells, so sugar builds up in your bloodstream. The condition is therefore stabilized by giving insulin into the bloodstream. When the insulin levels are low, the liver converts stored glycogen into glucose.
*Risk factors
There aren’t many known risk factors for type 1 diabetes through researchers continue to find new possibilities. Some known risk factors include: your family history, Genetics, the presence of certain genes indicates an increase risk developing type 1 diabetes and finally geography.
*Prevention and treatment
Patients seeking treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) require life long insulin therapy. Most require 2 or more injections of insulin daily, with doses adjusted on the basis of self monitoring of blood glucose levels.
*Form of diabetes
Type II: Noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
*Age of onset
Usually after age 45
*Defects in insulin and effects on glucose metabolism
Defects in insulin in type II diabetes is the impaired ability of insulin to enter the cells. The effect of this on glucose metabolism...

Read each scenario and write a 25- to 50-word answer for each question following the scenarios. Use at least one reference per scenario and format your sources consistent with APA guidelines.
Scenario A
Acute renal failure: Ms. Jones, a 68-year-old female, underwent open-heart surgery to replace several blocked vessels in her heart. On her first day postoperatively, it was noted that she had very little urine output.
1. What is happening to Ms. Jones’s kidneys, and why is it causing the observed symptom?
Ms. Jones’s kidneys are becoming impaired. This is because there was a condition that slowed the blood flow to the kidneys. Heart disease and heart attacks can lead to acute renal failure. Since she had surgery to replace several blocked arteries in her heart this can lead to acute renal failure.
2. What other symptoms and signs might occur?
Some symptoms, other than decreased urine output, that may occur due to acute renal failure are fluid retention, drowsiness, shortness of breath, fatigue, confusion, nausea, seizures, and chest pain.
3. What is causing Ms. Jones’s kidney disease?
The cause of Ms. Jones’s kidney disease is slow blood flow to her kidneys. This could be related to the blocked vessels in her heart and the operation she just went through to repair those damages.
4. What are possible treatment options, and what is the prognosis?

Acute renal failure: Ms. Jones, a 68-year-old female, underwent open-heart surgery to replace several blocked vessels in her heart. On her first day postoperatively, it was noted that she had very little urine output.
1. What is happening to Ms. Jones’s kidneys, and why is it causing the observed symptom?
*
* Ms. Jones’ kidneys are impaired. The kidneys regulate their own blood flow as well as GFR. The reason it is causing the observed systems is because the kidneys became hypoperfused which narrows the renal arteries, and vessels in the kidneys dilate with the help of prostaglandins to facilitate the flow.
*
2. What other symptoms and signs might occur?
*
* Some of the other symptoms and signs that may occur would be that she may experience
* hypertension, skin irritation, muscular cramps, and swelling around the eyes, hands and feet.
3. What is causing Ms. Jones’s kidney disease?
*
* Ms. Jones is having a decrease of blood flow from the kidney to the heart and brain leading to acute renal failure. She is suffering from preferential renal vasoconstriction....

Dear Ray,
Myelin visited my office yesterday complaining of numbness in his right leg and face. He has also been experiencing muscle weakness and mild depression. I noticed a delay in his visual response in both eyes. I have referred Myelin to your facility because of possible multiple sclerosis, and I am requesting an MRI of the brain and spine. Please fax the results to me as soon as possible.
Regards,
Ruben Delgadillo, M.D.
Answer the following questions.
1. What could have caused Myelin’s disease?
This may be a hereditary situation. Unfortunately, there is not a cure for multiple sclerosis so it could be a case of being passed down from generation to generation. Normally, when a person has multiple sclerosis, the person will have numbness in the legs and blurred vision. It is a great idea to have the MRI done of the brain and spine...
